Cortina d'Ampezzo

Cortina d'Ampezzo, often fondly referred to as the "Queen of the Dolomites," is a dream destination for those looking to combine alpine flair with Italian elegance on a convertible tour. The town is nestled in the heart of the Ampezzaner Dolomites and is surrounded by majestic peaks such as Tofana, Cristallo, and Sorapiss – a painted backdrop. The approach via spectacular Dolomite passes like the Passo Giau or the Falzaregopass is an experience in itself: winding curves, impressive panoramas, and the fresh mountain air make every minute of the drive a pleasure.

Cortina between cosmopolitan elegance and mountain adventure

The center of Cortina exudes cosmopolitan charm – with elegant boutiques, fine cafés, and historic hotels. On Corso Italia, one strolls past fashion houses and specialty shops, with a view of the distinctive bell tower profile of the basilica. But Cortina is not only elegant but also sporty: The Winter Olympics of 1956 made the town world-famous, and even today, it is a mecca for winter sports enthusiasts, climbers, and hikers.

In summer, Cortina presents itself as an ideal base camp for extensive tours – whether on foot, by bike, or stylishly in a convertible. Numerous winding roads lead through the Dolomite landscape, making the hearts of drivers race. Especially rewarding is a trip over the Passo Tre Croci towards Lake Misurina or further to the Three Peaks – a true classic among alpine excursions.

Timelessly beautiful: Landscape, history, and enjoyment

In addition to nature, Cortina also captivates with its history and culture. Traditional architecture meets modern accents, and the local cuisine combines Alpine heartiness with Italian finesse. A plate of Schlutzkrapfen with a view of the mountains or a glass of South Tyrolean wine on a sunny terrace – this is how to stylishly end the day. 

Cortina d'Ampezzo is a place that combines luxury, authenticity, and spectacular landscapes – a highlight for any convertible tour through the Dolomites.
